Actually

1. Neither the cold nor the hot water comes out from the facet.
2. The weather has been cold for a couple of days

but I am not sure if that is cold enough since we are not very cold
here in Bellevue, WA.
3. I have been in this house for only 2.5 months, and this is the first
time I had a situation like this.
4. Do I need to call a plumbing service right away to prevent potential
burst of the pipeline? Rightnow we got very good sunshine and I am not
sure if I should wait for a while.
5. BTW, does the water pipeline usually goes outside of the house or
inside the house? I saw some pipelines outside of my house but I don't
know if they are water pipelines. Sorry I am pretty ignorant about
this.

Thanks a lot!


I just looked at your weather. You have a forecast low of 18 that sure
can freeze any exposed pipes. If you are above freezing watch for leaks
as the pipes thaw out. Can you tell where the lines for the kitchen
come from? If they are outside they most likely froze.


If the lines thaw out today and are not leaking you better keep them
dripping a bit to keep them from freezing again. And maybe wrap
something around any exposed pipes.
